Street Glide - brake light & rear blinkers don't work HELP !
I have a 2010 Street Glide.
Standard rear set up, except for changing the rear blinkers to clear lenses with red bulbs a couple years ago.
I never changed any modules or anything with the tri-bar light.
I noticed yesterday that my brake light & rear blinkers don't work.
Rear running lights are on at start up as usual, and my front blinkers work.
Blinker indicators on dash work.
Horn and Cruise both work as well...
Any ideas as to what it could be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Boys...

I am assuming you don't have the center rear tail light?I believe your brake and signal lights are fed to the tribar light.In the tribar light the brake and signals are combined and sent to the bullet lights.You might have a bad connection on the inp(left side)or oup(right side)of the tribar light,or the circuitry in the tribar is defective,or the wiring from the tribar to the back of the bullet lights.Or it might be as simple as a fuse being blown.

don't think its a fuse.. I looked at the brake light and accessory fuse.
The tri-bar does light up as a running light..just not working as brake light..and again, no rear blinkers.

It's more than likely one of the two small switches that operate the brake lights are either stuck in the "in" position which is actually the normal position. Give that a go with a small pair of needle nose or tweezers and see if you can pop it back out

Your tri-bar was a running/brake light?Did you check the connectors on the sides of the tri-bar light?
I don't know if they changed from 09 to 10, but if all else fails, check the wires that run to the light. On the 09's, they have them glued to the underside of the fender. Mine came unglued and the tire rubbed through them. It started with just one turn signal not working...

The front switch is on the inside surface of the front lever housing toward the grip. The rear switch is inline with the brake line to the rear about where the frame bends upward toward the fender.

tri-bar is the 3 strips of lights at the bottom of the rear fender on a Street Glide
the bulbs? uhhhhhh.. I don't think so.. . maybe ??
I can't remember if the tri bar lights up as a brake light or if its just a running light.
if I doesn't I guess maybe if both of the others bulbs wnet bad at the same time, because they are running lights but also blinker / brake lights.
Would be a STRANGE coincidence if the brake/blinker element went bad on BOTH lights at the same time....
